Although born a hunting knife, the CQC-10K can handle anything in the outdoors, including camping and bushcrafting, the increasingly popular survivor’s challenge. Designed to reduce hand fatigue during tough tasks of gutting, skinning, boning and filleting, the CQC-10K also helps to split wood, clear brush and start fires. Its handle has a deep curve, and its easily sharpened blade holds an edge beyond expectations. Whether using the patented wave-shaped opening feature or the simple thumb disk for manual opening, owners of the CQC-10K are truly ready for the wild. Field dressing deer, boar, elk or bear seems like nothing when wielding the light, securely locked 3.5-inch blade and its textured grip made from G-10 on the front and rust resistant bead-blasted stainless steel on the back. Yes, hunters and survivors alike can appreciate the affordable, versatile CQC-10K created just for them through Kershaw and Emerson’s famously successful collaboration of expertise and integrity.
